          DASV: 1 Corinthians 3    

1 And I, brothers, could not speak to you as spiritual, but as
fleshly people, as infants in Christ.
2 I fed you with milk, not with solid food; for you were not yet
ready for it, and even now are still not ready,
3 for you are still under the influence of the flesh. For since
there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not under
the influence of the flesh, and are you not walking in a manner
typical of humans?
4 For when someone says, "I am a follower of Paul," and another,
"I am a follower of Apollos," are you not merely human?
5 Really, who is Apollos? Who is Paul? Servants through whom you
believed; just as the Lord assigned to each of us.
6 I planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the growth.
7 So then the one who plants is nothing special, nor does the one
who waters really matter; but God who gives the growth.
8 Now the one who plants and the one who waters are one, but each
will receive his own wages according to the work he has done.
9 For we are God's coworkers, you are God's garden, God's building.
10 According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master
builder I laid a foundation; and someone else built on it. But
each one must be careful how he builds on it.
11 For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is already
laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12 But if anyone builds on the foundation gold, silver, costly
stones, wood, hay, or straw,
13 each builder's work will be revealed, for the Day will clarify
it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will
test the kind of work each person has done.
14 If anyone's work survives, he will receive a reward.
15 If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, yet he
himself will be saved; but only as through fire.
16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the
Spirit of God dwells in you?
17 If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy that
one; for the temple of God is holy, which is what you all are.
18 Do not be self-deceived. If anyone among you thinks that
he is wise in this age, let him become a "fool," so that he
may become wise.
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For
it is written, "He catches the wise in their own cleverness,"
20 and again, "The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise that
they are futile."
21 So let no one boast about men. For all things are yours,
22 whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or
life, or death, or the present, or the future; everything
is yours,
23 and you are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
